a

Shown in references 8, 15, 18, 32, and 35. The extent of α2β1 usage is not affected by sialidase treatment of cells, as shown in this study.

b

Shown in this study and reference 31 for Wa. GM1 usage also was shown by STD NMR detection of a-GM1 binding by Wa VP8* (31) and RV-3 VP8* (this study). CE, clathrin-mediated endocytosis; ND, not determined.

c

Data are from references 11 to 13. DS-1 uses CE (12). RV-5 and DS-1 share the G2P1B serotype, differing in VP8* sequence at amino acid positions 82, 89, and 160, so RV-5 also may enter cells by CE.

d

Shown in this study and reference 31.

e

Shown in this study.
